DOE: Sound Extension

[Exalted]

Sorry, do you mean "Tooltips": where some sort of information is displayed when the mouse is positioned (hovered) over the SoundLink?

If that's what you mean, then I'll look into it, OK? If not, then what do you mean?

Cheers

That's precisely what I meant! I organize some sounds like directly into the map (I know you advise against it ) and sometimes it's hard to remember what is what. Thanks a bunch.

If I do that, it doesn't work. It stop working as soon as I put the third trigger of hit on. With just the first trigger or the first and second, it plays the sound when ever the first line is seen in chat:

[ATTACK (M)] Dagger

But when I add that third line, it no longer plays the sound, on a HIT or MISS.

Can you post a screen shot of the chat window, that shows what the output looks like that you are trying to trigger off of?

If you looked at the attached file, I rolled a dagger attack twice.

The first one is when the Player (me joined table as a player using the join Localhost) rolls. It shows the Attack Result first on a line, then the Attack Type second on a new line.


The second one is Me rolling the attack through the DM window, be it that player or a NPC. When I the DM roll, it shows the Attack Type on first line, then Attack Result on second line.

Ok starting a new Campaign started setting up sounds, but no Chat-Sounds work on Rolls.
I was confused so I reloaded my old campaign and those don't work either now.
But If I type in the trigger to Chat it does work.
Am I missing something?

Tried reloading the extensions but nothing works now.

Make sure you have show results on and show roll totals. Otherwise it won't work.

I have both of those options on, but I still have the exact same problem - typing triggers in a chat bubble works, while the same triggers from dice rolling do nothing. Any other ideas?

Whenever something shows a "?" in front of it, it is not being sent over the internet to the players. So, your first one that says "does not work" has a ? in front of it which is why it doesn't work. I think in this case since you are testing it from the character's sheet as the GM, FG consider it a "GM roll". In options in FG under "Game (GM), if Chat: show GM rolls is set to "off" (which mine are), then your rolls will NOT trigger sounds but the player rolls will if they roll from their character sheet. Hope that makes sense....

That makes good sense, and good info on the ?. In my case, though, I have a separate client connected, so I'm sure(?) I am sending it over the internet. Here's my ss

I tried as the player, as the GM using the player, but only the chat bubble produces sound.

Ok. Now I'm speculating a bit here, but based on your screenshot can you try something? In the option that says "Chat: Set GM voice to active CT", you have it set to "on". The default (and what I use) is "off". Can you toggle that option off and try again? I'm not 100% positive this is the issue but it is possible that it is.

No dice (get it). I have actually tried pretty much every permutation of those settings possible and none seems to make a difference. This must be something simple.

Darnit. I must be missing something easy too. Let me keep thinking about it. We know things are working because it is picking up the chat bubble for sounds which is good. Can you post the sound trigger itself so I can look at that as well? I assume it is just "Longsword" but would like to look at it.

Hah! Ok so because I made my trigger very generic ("Longsword") it was being overridden by other, more specific ones ("[ATTACK (M)] Longsword") (I think) for which I didn't have a valid sound string set up. Apparently if multiple sounds have the same trigger, they don't all play. Not sure how it chooses which one to play, but that's what was happening with me.

Once I got that sorted, they're working fine. Really appreciate your help!
